Dynamic generation of Button

[yashsays]

hi everyone

i have tried generating Button control dynamically... but faced two problems:
1) if i want to add this button to any container control...then its fine( i can user control.add(objButton)...but i couldnt work out how to add it to a form and place it at desired location;

2)how do we add event handler for this dynamically generated button...i mean where do we write coe to handle Click event for this button.

thnx in advance.

1) You can either use a placeholder control or add the button to your form's control collection. As every control in the form has a index number you can use the AddAt(Int32, Control) method rather than the Add(Control) to position it where you want.

2) Try:

// Handle Click Event
void btnName_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Do whatever
}

// Create Button
Button btnName = new Button();
btnName.ID = "newButton";
btnName.Text = "Click here";
btnName.Click += new EventHandler(btnName_Click);

PlaceHolderName.Controls.Add(btnName);

Hope that makes sense.
